Seems likely that this is just a resource exhaustion problem.

Probably a bad idea.  Recursion in /tmp?  Try it without these two,
then, er, maybe bisect.

FWIW I never scan the local filesystem.  If it's compromised, what's
the point?  If it isn't, what's the point?  That doesn't mean that I
won't scan local files of course - but that's different and I'd have
very specific reasons for doing it.
